Aue clearly loses against Cologne and remains in the relegation zone of the league!
The mood in the Erzgebirgstadion on September 13, 2025 was anything but good, especially after FC Erzgebirge Aue's disappointing performance against the overly strong Cologne team. MDR reports that Aue lost the game 0-3 and is therefore still in the relegation zone of the third division.
The game initially started promisingly for the home team. Aue was more dominant in the first half and had seven shots. Nevertheless, the Erzgebirge team did not manage to take advantage of the opportunities. Instead, Leonhard Münst scored Cologne's first goal with a header in the 19th minute. Shortly afterwards, Aue had to accept another blow in the neck: Tim Kloss unintentionally converted a header into his own goal in the 44th minute after an Auer defensive action. We went into the half-time break with a 0-2 deficit. Time complements that coach Jens Härtel's team was unable to catch up after the break and was finally buried 3-0 by Benjamin Zank in the 87th minute.
Home fans react frustrated
The disappointment was palpable among the fans in the stadium. Aue was booed by his own supporters after the final whistle, which only further increased the bad mood. The next challenges are already waiting: Aue has to get back to it next week when they play against Cottbus and Osnabrück. Kicker informed about the general attendance situation in the league, which will also be influenced by the teams' performances this season.
For Viktoria from Cologne, however, it was a complete success. After a bumpy start to the season, they were finally able to celebrate their first win in Aue. Coach Marian Wilhelm was visibly relieved and emphasized the efficiency of his players. With this performance, Viktoría will certainly be in high demand when the next matches come up.
In summary, Aue remains in the relegation zone and has already lost three times in its first five games. The results are alarming and one wonders whether the coach can still find the right solutions to turn things around. The international break was used to gather new strength, but if the balls don't end up in the net, it will be difficult. MDR reports Furthermore, Aue attracted more than 7,000 fans in front of their home crowd for the first time this season, showing that the support of the supporters is there despite the defeats.
